The Nightingale's Lament.
As it fell upon a day,

As it fell upon day,
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in pleasant shade
Which grove of myrtles made,
Beasts did leap and birds did sing,
Trees did grow, and plants did spring
Every thing did Danish moan,
Save the nightingale alone.
She, poor bird, as all forlorn,
Lean'd her breast uphill thorn,
And there sung the doefull'st ditty,
That to hear it was a great pity:
File, fie, fe, now would she cry,
Teru, Teru, by and by:
Piso's Cure for Consumption, being
certain remedy for the worst of hu-
man ailments, must of necessity be
the best remedy for coughs and dis
eases of the throat, which, if neglect
ed, too often end fatally.
That to hear her so complain,
Scarce l could from tears refrain;
For her grief so lively shewn,
Made think upon my own.
All! thought l, thou mourn'st in vain ;
None take pity on thy pain;
Senseless trees, they cannot hear thee !;
Ruthless beasts, they will not cheer
(thee.
King Pandion, he is dead
All thy friends are lapp'd in lead:
All thy fellow birds do sing,
Careless of thy Borrowing.
Even so, poor bird, like thee,
None alive will pity me.
Whilst as tickle fortune smilld,
Thou and l were both beguipd.

VANCOUvER'S ISLAND.

It's Rich IMMORAL and Agricultural Re-
sources-An Hist orical Steamer.
The island of Vancouver has a length
of nearly three hundred miles, ant
about fifty in width on an average, and
has some thirteen thousand square
miles of territory. Much of its surface
Is mountainous, and produces but little
Its low-lying hills and valleys produce
excellent grass, fine grazing for domcs-
tic animals. The most valuable land
and principal settlements are on the
eastern and southern shores. Victoria
which has twelve thousand people, il
the largest of all the towns.
The Pacific side is inhabited chiefly
by Indians, of whom there are some
seven thousand, catching the fur, sea
halibut in their leading pursuit, and
they may be said to live in their canoes.
They surpass the tribes of the main.
land in point of intelligence and aptncss
for various kinds of labor. The Abt
tribe is extensively known for its skill.
full work in gold, silver, wood, bone and
stone. Their manufactures of these
materials command high prices, and
are source of considerable revenue Ia
the island.
Vancouver exports fur, fish and coal.
In some parts of the country the coal is
of excellent quality. The best lies on
the eastern shore. 1t extends from
just north of Victoria, where there is a
promising vein, to near latitude 81. The
center of coal mining on the island is
the town of Nanaiomo, thriving port
with a fine harbor some sixty miles from
Victoria. There were $4,000 tons
shipped from this port to California in
one year. This, the people on the
island claim, is the only true coal bed
on the Pacific coast
The island forms a part of the Prov
ince of British Columbia, from which il
is separated by the Gulf of Georgia. In
1866 royal edict of her Majesty in.
corporated them under their present
title.
Being expelled from the fertile lands
of Oregon and Washington, by the
Oregon treaty of 1916, the Hudson Bay
Company colonized the southern ex.
tremity Of this island, not more for a
fur station than for grazing and agri.
cultural purposes.
As we were leaving this port my at.
tention was called to a small steamer
closely wcdged between two superior,
craft little way from our dock.
THAT steamer" said a fine-looking
English sea-captain, lis the first boat
that ever turned wheel in the Pacific
Ocean. She is called the Beaver. She
was built in London, a1d left that port
for Fort Vancouver, Oh the Columbia
river, in 1883. She was, and is now. a
boat of prodigious strength, and has
been in service all these years. There
is barely sunkcn rock in all this vari
system of sland waters that she has nci
found, not because she sought it. but
because she struck it. At the next
dock above lies the other, the mate oi
the Beaver, and the second steamer &c
pillow the Pacific. "-Herbcrt Bartlett, IN
